Redefining Rape

Bruises and broken bones do not define rape — a lack of consent does. Please sign the petition to block the Smith Bill: http://tinyurl.com/4uouptq

This bill is disgusting.

What exactly is "coerced rape?" If you get roofied? If you go back to a guy's house after a date? If you "lead him on?"

What if you fall asleep after having consensual sex with a guy and wake up to his frat brother on top of you? What would you call that — a learning experience?

I don't think men fully understand what it is like to live with the threat of rape in the back of your mind ALL THE TIME.

Imagine what it would be like if every day of your life there was a chance that any woman you come across might castrate you. If you go to a bar or walk home from school alone. If you're hanging out at her house, or you just let her give you a ride home. Or if you, say, wear tight jeans or bare your abs at the gym. ANY woman, at any time, even if you already know her, even if you've already slept with her before.

And she has the power to cut off your balls.

Just try to picture that, just for a minute.

And then tell me what "rape" really is. Motherfuckers.
